True friendship—“soul friendship"—is essential to remaining fully charged vocationally. So why are ministers some of the loneliest people on the planet? Reflecting on biblical examples of soul friendship, Pam Driesell invites listeners to pursue relationships that bring energy and inspiration to life and ministry.

Pam Driesell became the fourth Senior Pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church, Atlanta, in October 2010. Prior to accepting the call to Trinity Church, Driesell led the organization of a new church in Oconee County, Georgia, a fast growing county adjacent to Athens-Clarke County with a mix of long-time rural residents and many newer members of the University of Georgia faculty and administration community. She led the congregation to a successful chartering with 115 members after two years in the field.

Driesell has served on numerous councils and commissions and currently serves as the moderator of the Tri-Presbytery New Church Development Commission and as an advisory council member of the Princeton Institute for Youth Ministry.

Driesell earned her M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary, where she was awarded the James T. Galloway Prize in Expository Preaching. She holds an M.L.S. from Hollins University and a B.S. with academic honors from James Madison University.
